2011 macbook pro ram series#
Intel Core i series processors (known by the code-name Sandy Bridge), are found inside every new MacBook Pro. What we can test is the effect the new processors and graphics have on performance. Thunderbolt-equipped products have been announced, but they are have not started shipping, so unfortunately, we are unable to test the speed of the Thunderbolt connection in this round of testing. The port looks like the Mini DisplayPort and you can still connect a LED Cinema Display or Mini DisplayPort adapter, but you’ll also be able to connect up to six peripheral devices, such as hard drives. It’s now the Thunderbolt port, a new technology that Intel developed with input from Apple. The only external clue to any changes comes in the form of a tiny icon near what was the Mini DisplayPort connector. All MacBook Pros have 4GB of 1333MHz DDR3 memory. The $2499 17-inch model has the same specs as the $2199 15-inch model. The $1799 configuration sports a 2GHz quad-core Core i7 processor, a 5400-rpm 500GB drive, and a discrete AMD Radeon HD 6490M graphics processor with 256MB of GDDR5 video memory, while the $2199 offering features a 2.2GHz quad-core Core i7 processor, a 5400-rpm 750GB drive, and a discrete AMD Radeon HD 6750M graphics processor with 1GB of GDDR5 video memory. Both 15-inch models come with Intel’s integrated HD Graphics 3000. The 13-inch models come with Intel’s integrated HD Graphics 3000, and either a 2.3GHz dual-core Core i5 processor and a 5400-rpm 320GB hard drive for $1199, or a 2.7GHz dual-core Core i7 processor with a 5400-rpm 500GB hard drive for $1499. The new lineup consists of two 13-inch models, two 15-inch models (down from three in the previous generation) and one 17-inch model. In testing conducted by Macworld Lab, the laptops released Thursday turned in Speedmark scores between 13 and 53 percent faster than the systems they replace.Īpple overhauled its MacBook Pro offerings with new processors, new graphics, and a new peripheral connector. Here's hoping iFixit got the only dud from the production line.The benchmark results for Apple’s latest MacBook Pros are in-and they’re impressive.
Small things, yes, but not quite the Apple consistency we're used to. One interesting point iFixit notes is some patchy quality control inside, with at least one stripped screw and an unlocked ZIF socket for the IR sensor. There's also an extra antenna for the wireless card, extra heat sinks and lashings of thermal paste, and it seems Thunderbolt gets its own heat sink as well. First off is the RAM, which is now PC3-10600, different from previous MacBook Pro notebooks (though the same as found in the 2010 21.5-inch and 27-inch iMacs), which means PC3-8500 RAM from older machines won't work in the new model. Inside there are a few notable changes, some of which might give upgraders a little pause for thought. The teardown-team acquired a 15-inch MBP and set to work stripping its delicious unibody chassis apart, not happy until the bare Core i7 processor was visible.
We've already shown you the outside of the new early-2011 MacBook Pro 15, and given you a preview of what its quad-core guts are capable of, but iFixit seldom stop when screws get in the way.
